One final, that I will start studying for today, is worrying me. Other than that...

Thoughts are begining to form about the political structure of the Vals. I believe that after this is made, we can then modify it for the Ixtek and the Aleph. It must contain mutiple levels of division, from planet groups to sectors, to something else, to nations.

We then need something for them to do at each level that usual citizens cant do. I was thinking one- to form new sectors. two- approve new ship designs. Three- and this is ambigous, a way to acquire more territory through some political process. Four- hold elections.

A start, but to make the political game fun, something has to be at stake.

As for an early revenue model, i was thinking of, 1- a small monthly fee, 2- an option to buy in game real-estate early, 3- a way for people to make donations.

so

1- study the end three chapters for 154 and get a grasp on what they are about.
2- Write down some early ideas for the political process upon boredom with 154
3- Start the sys-tran paper
4- Get the email list set up for mike and logan
5- Make sure the interview is ready to go for monday morning
